U+9AA5 "骥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9AA5 "骥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a fine horse, specifically a steed or a thoroughbred, often used in classical and modern Chinese literature to symbolize talent, speed, and nobility. Its composition combines the radical for horse, which indicates its connection to equine concepts, with a phonetic component that contributes to its pronunciation in Mandarin as "jì." Historically, this character appears in ancient texts such as the Shiji and is frequently employed in idioms and proverbs, like "老骥伏枥" meaning an old steed in the stable, which metaphorically describes someone who retains great ambition despite advanced age. In modern usage, it remains relevant in names, poetic expressions, and cultural references, underscoring the enduring cultural significance of the horse in Chinese civilization.
